I have now re-read the syllabus, solidly, for all the pertinent lectures for tomorrow’s gross anatomy exam. This is officially the first time I have prepared appropriately for a test, any test. There’s always something else I can do, of course, so I’m not done, but I’m feeling pretty good right now. Getting enough sleep […]

Today in New York there is a debonair young lad celebrating his 28th birthday. Mr. Duke Kim, I hope it is the happiest of days for you. Here it was a biochem sort of day. Miss Zoe and her Dad manned the fort while I went to school for New to Biochemistry Club (NBC) for […]

Today was our last official dissection. We’ll be in lab Wednesday and then for reviews and the practice and real practical exams, but I felt like today was important. We have done and learned so much. I was looking for a piece of skin to test the sharpness of our scalpel blade, and I couldn’t […]

One – at least I – might have thought this weekend would be one of studying, with the occasional break for consumption or sleep. While there certainly was studying, there was also fun. The whole week was rather extracurricular heavy, even though […]

So I’m still finding my stride, to include prioritizing my limited computer time. I’m keeping up with reading all the blogs I read, and not so much updating my own. We had a good visit the past several days with Joel’s Mom and sisters. My Mom is in Wisconsin with my Dad at a major […]
